The files on the first line have their pages in sequence for viewing on line. Those on the second and third lines are split for printing and displayed as sides 1 and 2.
However, I have become aware that other people's printers and paper do not correspond exactly with mine, and these lines are not much used. Accordingly, I have tried
 to restore all files of the top line only that were corrupted. Ask me if you want restored files from the lower lines.                                                                          - Fr Jack

CONCERNING THE YEAR AND ITS PARTS
This document in the Breviary and the Missal deals mostly with the calculation of Easter and its reform in 1582. It is not included in the English Breviary or the Monastic Breviary, since it is  not accepted for Orthodox use. However, Hilary Jervis of the Gregorian Club asked me to translate it many years ago, and I thought it might be of interest.. It is replaced in my Breviaries by a current Table of Moveable Feasts according to the  Easter dates  approved by the Orthodox Churches (2000 to 2040  A.D.)
